1 Claim.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in fender tools for use in removing dents from fenders of automobiles and from other sheet metal surfaces and has for its primary object to provide an anvil adapted for holding in a position against one side of the work while the same is being hammered into its desired shape and includes the provision of serrations or file cuts on the contacting face of the tool adapted to produce small irregularities in the surface of the work to indicate the part thereof that is being hammered.

A further object is to provide an article of this character of simple and practical construction, which is efiicient in performance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise Well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had in the accompanying drawing forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like part throughout and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view, and

Figure 3 is an end elevational view. 7

Referring now to the drawing in detail the nu meral 5 designates a base for the anvil of substantially rectangular form and on the upper surface of which is formed the handle or hand gripping portion 6 which is of cylindrical formation and extending longitudinally of the base 5.

The outer surface of the handle portion 6 is serrated as shown at 1 and the outer surface of the base portion 5 is serrated as shown at 8.

In the operation of the tool the serrated portion of either the base 5 or handle 6 isheld against the surface of the fender while the same is being hammered and the hammered blows will cause the formation of small dents on the surface of the fender to indicate to the workman the position at which the blows are being struck.

The cylindrical handle portion 6 is designed for use as an anvil base by reversing the position of the tool against a concaved surface of the work, while the flat base portion 5 is used against flat or convexed surfaces.

It is believed the details of construction, advantages and manner of use of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed a new is:

A repair tool comprising an anvil including a substantially fiat portion and a cylindrical handle portion formed horizontally on one face of the flat portion, the surface of the flat portion opposite from the handle and the outer surface of the handle being serrated and either serrated surface being selectively adapted for use as the work contacting surface of the tool..
